The cloisonné technique is typically used on a metallic body, but in
1868, Tsukamoto Kaisuke (1828–1887) of Japan discovered a way to
apply the technique to a ceramic body. This form of decoration for
ceramics proved to be shortlived — the cloisonné enamels tended to
have a dull or dirty appearance when applied to a ceramic body, which
can be seen in this jar.Label Type
